A 3 m thick clay layer (cu 5 60 kN/m2 and g 5 19.0 kN/m3 ) is underlain by a weaker clay (cu 5 30 kN/m2 and g 5 18.0 kN/m3 ) to a large depth. A 2.0 m wide square foundation is placed at 1.5 m depth below the ground level. Determine the maximum column load that can be allowed on the foundation with FS=3

Two flowing streams of argon gas are adiabatically mixed to form a single flow/stream. one stream is 1.5 kg/s at 400 kpa and 200 c while the second stream is 2kg/s at 500 kpa and 100 ? . it is stated that the exit state of the mixed single flow of argon gas is 150 c and 300 kpa. assuming there is no work output or input during the mixing process, does this process violate either the first or the second law or both? explain and state all your assumptions.

Water at 70°f and streams enter the mixing chamber at the same mass flow rate, determine the temperature and the quality of the exiting stream. 0 psia is heated in a chamber by mixing it with saturated water vapor at 20 psia. if both streams enters the mixing chamber at the same mass flow rate, determine the temperature and the quality of the existing system.
